Theoretically what would happen if Wukong and Macaque found out about the fan fiction especially the lemons? Would the top bottom debate ever be solved ( bottom Mac supremacy )?

Macaque: oh what's this book lying around? The resentment of Huago? Huh. interesting title. I wonder- *opens book*

Wukong, walks in: hey moonlight have you seen a-

Macaque:

Wukong:

Macaque: my king...why do you have a collection of these books about us...doing things?

Wukong, sweating:

act 1 recap of the live show!

started with a video clip of the lawyer reading off a letter from charlie. very incoherent ofc, just listing all the “rules” which naturally did not have to be followed

meg welcomed the guys, glenn kicked the door down as they came on stage

rob gave the crowd an ocular patdown

talked about how much they love england, jokes about the king being there and then started saying how america is better

sang the national anthem 😭😭 and everyone was booing them so charlie sang rock flag and eagle

meg said each show they would discuss a different pairing, the one i was at they did trash twins !!

glenn jokingly called kaitlin a bitch and rob justice came out a little

showed a few clips of dennis and dee, iirc it was the bit where they’re singing in welfare and the coughing scene in ireland (just recapped them, how they filmed it etc)

glenn sang never gonna give you up

had an “interruption” from the lawyer. turned out to be uncle jack, just a video message and he got reeeeaaalll close to the camera at one point. was also wearing mickey mouse hands

talked about the best schemes and scenes where they’re sitting across a desk from somebody

iirc they showed the power bottom scene at the club, lawyer reading barbara’s will, mr bovine joni and the guys at the bank — people started yelling at glenn to take his shirt off 😭

suddenly the lights went out ??

came back on and there’s shit on the stage… who pooped the stage 🧐🧐

video monologue from ARTEMIS !! unfortunately didn’t film it but she called glenn ‘glennifer’

short video clip from danny devito !! telling everyone to enjoy the show

#artemis’s monologue was hilarious i wish i got it on video #they also talked about mac’s sexuality and how he was asking a lot of questions during the power bottom convo #then joked that frank was too and maybe frank will get his own dance 😭 #the always sunny podcast #iasip

[dennisboobs]

people will just say anything

#its so weird trying to impose size difference shit on macden to me like its. so fucking funny. #dennis is the bottom so he must be smaller than mac (is taller than him and pretty much the same fucking size) #also like. weird as hell to intentionally misgender a real person too but i wont get into that. whatever. its cool and progressive now. #i swear twitter is one degree off transvestigating glenn if they havent already #personally! as a trans person! it's really fucking weird to equate smaller stature/more delicate features with she/her pronouns #like. even as a joke. i dont get why you would want to reinforce this kind of thinking #bc even if it is ironically done that kind of thinking is still affecting a general mindset #ada speaks

[realbeefman]

mac and dennis are… well. let’s just say dennis is type AB and mac is type O. a universal recipient and a universal donor. or whatever the kids are calling it these days.

#house md has unbeatable dialogue #using blood type as a way to call house a bottom bitch… incredible. unmatched. iconic. #its always sunny in philadelphia #iasip #macdennis #mac mcdonald #dennis reynolds #macden

the structure in mac and dennis break up

this is gonna be a short post tbh, I just rewatched the episode and I have a couple of thoughts.

if you need a refresher on what I think the structure is in general, I talk about it here.

I think Mac and Dennis Break Up shows us an example of Mac and Dennis (and Charlie and Frank) working properly in regards to the structure, let me explain why:

First... I don't think there's a need for me to describe the plot of the episode, we all know.

What I want to focus on, is that at one point Mac moves in with Frank and Charlie, and starts bringing his way of life to them.

At first, Frank is thrilled.

"I could use a little structure in my life here." he says.

This reminds me of dialogue from Carries a Corpse.

"Nobody admit this to Mac, but... I feel like he was carrying a ton of weight."

"That would be another one of his annoying identities... the man who could carry stuff."

He's been shown carrying Dennis, on top of generally being inclined to micromanage, take care of others so they're safe, and make decisions or at least demand to be consulted in them (like which movie to watch on movie night).

That's when Mac works best, so I assume that Mac generally brings structure (or is a man of action, as he describes it).

Later on, we see Mac take this too far, and Frank doesn't like it anymore. To me, this is because what this episode tells us is that Charlie and Frank don't work well with a set structure, the way that Mac provides. They're more free.

I think this reading is important because it shows me why The Gang Gets Romantic fundamentally fails in its objective (not as an episode god forbid, I mean in the narrative, especially for Mac and Dennis).

It applies the romcom structure to Charlie and Frank, while it doesn't to Mac and Dennis, when it should be the opposite. Throughout the episode we see that Mac and Dennis keep fitting the tropes to the romcom structure, but they refuse to follow it, and thus it crumbles. It can't work.

Here's another thing.

Dennis' back broke in the S15 finale.

That is funny, yes, but what does this mean when I say that Mac is the (his) structure, then?

Well... Carries a Corpse implies that Mac was carrying most of the weight of the corpse, and the corpse is meant to be the show... and most show meta is basically the same as Dennis meta (most meta lines seem to relate to him, whether the fact he left for north dakota and came back, or the fact he's a dad, being between life and death, breaking his back aka the structure, and so on), as I have discussed better in my other post.

Point being, Mac carries Dennis. That's what he's meant to do, and what he does best in their relationship.

This makes me think of another recent scene that I think is emblematic of their dynamic... but in an interesting way.

So, in 2020: a Year in Review, Mac and Dennis work together on a song.

They seem to be in harmony, but eventually start disagreeing and stop altogether to focus on something else. Why?

Because Dennis is working on the backup vocals, and Mac is working on the words. Which means their roles are reversed. Mac is supposed to be carrying the song, like the wind beneath his wings that he is, and Dennis, like the man of words that he is, should be responsible for the lyrics. They're doing each other's job, which means any harmony they reach is still bound to crack a bit the moment the song doesn't work for them.

Their seating position on their sofa reflects this.

Compare it to Mac and Dennis Break Up, which is supposed to be our ideal.

They're in each other's places, in 2020.

This isn't new, they've been sitting in each other's places ever since Break Up. Mac was sitting in Dennis' place in MFHP, Dennis was sitting in Mac's place in Gets Romantic.

So tl;dr... Mac and Dennis work well under structure, when Mac is the one to bring it and carry Dennis. They fit a proper couple structure after all. Charlie and Frank don't work as well under structure, since their relationship is more unique and doesn't quite abide by normal rules because of that.

This does bring me to one last consideration though...

They're back in their right spots, in season 16! Only problem is... couch is different. I would argue an inflatable couch doesn't offer the same amount of support (structure) that a normal one would...

Now that Dennis' structural essence broke, is he gonna feel what it's like when Mac is absent?

Perhaps this is why in Cursed we get Mac as the lucky one while the others as so unlucky they start to believe they're cursed (according to the synopsis...).

So the whole gang needs Mac?

Well...

In Goes To Hell pt2, when they build the human pyramid, it's both Mac and Dennis that end up at the bottom, as its structure.

So maybe... Dennis needs Mac as his structure, and the gang needs them to be in sync so they can both, together, support them (or shut the hell up about it, as both madbu and s15 would argue). Maybe this realization could be what brings the gang to work together in order to get them together. But that's getting into just speculation so imma end it here.

I like these thoughts though... Mac and Dennis being the foundation, the structure of the whole thing :)
